I think what ttodd said is makes a lot of sense. HF is not a place I would ever think of buying a power tool or drill bits or anything made of hardened steel. Then again, Craftman power tools, lawn mowers and chain saws, etc. are made in asia and in my opinion are crap these days; not what they were 25 or 30 years ago. I bought and took back 3 Craftman chain saws within 4 days. The crap was terrible to start and would not start after it had run for 5 or 10 minutes. Finally found online a Popular Mechanics top 10 saws. I bought an Echo, more expensive, yes, US made and it's a trooper. Stiehl is also very good but a lot more dough. Yeah, I looked at a MacCoulgh chain saw at HF. Good price, but I'd all ready bought and returned one at Home Depot. It was as bad as the Crapsman saws.
